Enabling high quality health professions education is key to ensuring high quality healthcare globally. Educational partnerships between high and low resource settings have been one way to try to advance this goal. The Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration (TAAAC), an educational partnership between the University of Toronto (UofT) and Addis Ababa University (AAU) is one such partnership. The TAAAC model was designed to help address an urgent need for increased university faculty to teach in the massive expansion of universities in Ethiopia.

Learn about CUGH's upcoming activities and provide your feedback about how CUGH can support your organization's work and address the global health challenges we face.CUGH Board Chair Dr. Ann Kurth, Chair and Dr. Keith Martin, CUGH's Executive Director, will be hosting the webinar.

Global health is influenced by so many aspects of life and is, by its scope, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral in nature. How can faculty provide the needed disciplinary breadth in global health courses? How can they enable students to do place-based study-with or without travel-using digital and other sources? What kinds of community engagement and cultural humility/ethical skills are needed?

Global Health Competencies are central to Global Health education at undergraduate and graduate levels. The CUGH Competencies Toolkit is an essential resource for educators - including over 1000 multimedia teaching objects to use inside and outside the classroom, assisting faculty to nurture Global Health knowledge, skills and attitudes.

Join this webinar to learn more about how CUGH can assist faculty in all disciplines approaching Global Health to further the perspectives of learners and fellow faculty.

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face a range of obstacles in healthcare including access, funding, education, and personnel. However, laboratory diagnostics including pathology are particularly challenging because of the specialized personnel, unique reagents, quality processes, and overall logistics of delivering the right diagnosis to the right patient at the right time.

The publishing environment today is unrecognisable from that of only a few decades ago. Getting your research published, and published where it matters to you, your peers, and your organisation, requires skills and knowledge that the academics of the last century could never have foreseen.

Lancet Global Health Editor-in-Chief Zoë Mullan will guide you through the fog with insider tips and strategies from one of the world’s leading health journals.
